A slower week of gaming, but some spooky and some sweet things to talk about this week.
It was a slower week with fewer acquisitions and a bigger focus on more important things. More important than gaming, even!
Old favorites get new life with new additions and new editions. On top of that, new games get played and more games get taught. It’s a week full of Digging, Dreaming, and Drifting!
Another week of gaming, acquisitions, and events. This time with some weighty packages and some heavier games, but also some light games and goofy fun.
Shobu is an odd combination of components: Four wooden boards, 32 stones, a rope, and a rules sheet. Is this an example of a simple game having complexity in play, or is it just random components thrown together?
